ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF FRACTIONS add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF FRACTIONS multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form (e.g. 1 / 4 1 / 2 = 1 / 8 ) multiply one-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by whole numbers divide proper fractions by whole numbers (e.g. 1 / 3 2 = 1 / 6 ) MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF DECIMALS multiply one-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by whole numbers multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1000
